One Response to “A gourd by any other name”

I won’t be able to make it this fall but since I’ve been helping some “big kids” (college age) with putting together good costumes, I wanted to toss out a reminder. Modern costumes- the ones you buy off the racks at the store- might as well be made of tissues. The material is really thin, so besides for not lasting through the wash it won’t keep out wind or rain. October can be quite chilly and rainy in the Mid-west (especially after dark). Of course, it’s no fun to wear a coat because it blocks your costume, so try to either make a coat part of the outfit or make sure the costume is roomy enough to wear clothes underneath.
